Johnson's horrific head injury gives KKR a scare

KKR is already sweating over the fitness of Chris Lynn and Andre Russell.

The left-arm fast bowler has played 73 Tests and 153 ODIs picking up 313 and 239 wickets for Australia.

The Australian legend was picked by IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 2 crores after he went unsold in the first round and KKR would hope his injury has no bearings on his performance in the IPL starting from April 7.

However, the fast bowler later on shared another picture to suggest he was out of danger.

Johnson required 16 stitches on his scalp for the bleeding to stop.

The second picture shared by Johnson reveals the seriousness of the wound.

The 36-year-old pacer shared the gory pictures on his instagram account with the caption“If you don’t like blood & cuts then don’t look through these pics!”

Johnson, who was best known for his ferocious spells of fast bowling, busted his head open after contacts with the chin-up bar.

A gym exercise went horribly wrong for Mitchell Johnson, leaving the former Australia fast bowler in a bloody mess.
